Chapter 565 ? Proxianren's Big Killer?

Da da da! !

'Ugh...'

Da da! Da da da! ! !

‘Aw~how~! '

The precise and ruthless bullets smashed the Reaper soldiers and the scattered corpse puppets who were trying to shoot or rush over one by one, making them jump one by one on the dry land full of Martian sand, and re- It turned back into a corpse that could never move.

"Left is safe, no Reapers found!"

"The right side is safe, all the enemies are killed! No reaper monsters were found, nor any humans!"

"receive……"

"keep going!!"

Under the dim yellow sky of Mars and the harsh environment full of smoke, dust, wind, sand, and lightning, Shepard, Ashley, and Miranda are alternately covering, killing the remnants of the Reapers and those crazy corpse puppets. , was finally able to enter the passage gate of this Mars excavation experiment base.

"Huh! I still don't understand!"

"Shepard... Shouldn't we go to the Citadel first, and make representations and joint matters with the Citadel Council? But now, why do we waste time here at this excavation base on Mars? a good idea?"

Ashley, with the S1 logo of the Star Alliance painted on the right chest of the black armor, was entering an airtight room at the entrance of a seemingly empty Mars base with Shepard and Miranda. After closing the cabin door and taking a breath, she took off her helmet and asked Shepard again in a puzzled manner.

When they came to this Mars base, Shepard didn't inform them in advance, but only started to select the landing team when they were about to start landing on Mars, and let her Ashley also participate in it.

She was very puzzled by this...

So, after holding back for a while, and waiting until it was temporarily safe, she couldn't help but ask.

Now that the situation is urgent, it stands to reason that Shepard should rush to the Citadel space station as soon as possible, contact the council as soon as possible and advocate and initiate the important task of all races uniting to fight against the reaper! But now, the other party came to the barren land of Mars, and ran to the base of the archaeological excavation site, struggling to fight the Reaper soldiers stranded here for that?

She had clearly seen it just now, except for some scattered Reaper monster soldiers and those corpse puppets wandering around, they didn't see any living people!

Here, there are no living archaeologists or base residents!

Apparently the Reapers have raided this place on Mars! Otherwise, Mars, which should have many colony workers and residents before, would not have responded to their Normandy II security channel call at all, and it would be even more impossible for Mars to come to the planet, except for the reaper monsters. Can't see any other humans...

"There's no one here! We're wasting our time here!"

In Ashley's view, even if it is necessary to clean up the remaining enemies on Mars, it should be something that the Star Alliance or the Federation of Heroes needs to do, not their special task group!

They shouldn't be curious to come here, let alone land on this base.

Perhaps, the people here had already evacuated ahead of schedule, or it was possible that the Reapers suddenly attacked here and took away or wiped out all the people? But it was also because of this that Ashley felt that it was meaningless for them to waste their time investigating this Mars base!

"Ha! To be honest, I don't understand myself..."

"However, since this place is so close to the earth, and the phantom man of Cerberus just asked me to come here to help him retrieve something at this time...then I have to come here, maybe, I can finally help him Work this once?"

Originally, Shepard really planned to go directly to the Citadel space station first! However, not long after they left the earth, and before they had time to jump to the Charon repeater, they received a message from the phantom man: the other party asked her Shepard to come to the Mars base immediately to recover a Important objects and materials that have been excavated before are strictly prevented from falling into the hands of the reaper or being destroyed by the enemy!

Shepard, who wanted to do something for Cerberus for the last time and repay the other party for saving his life, decided to stop by here to have a look after much thought. Anyway, no matter whether they succeed or fail, they won't waste too much time.

"Cerberus?!"

"Shepard, I suggest, you'd better break up with them earlier now!"

"These guys are acting weird, and they are not allies of our Star Alliance! In fact, they are just a group of extremist terrorists. If you continue to entangle with them, you will definitely get into big trouble in the future of!"

As a soldier of the official organization of the Star Federation, Ashley obviously doesn't like Cerberus' group of armed terrorists with a private nature! It's like a policeman with a sense of justice would not like the underworld. She despises those guys who have been stirring up trouble in private and destroying the unity of all races in the galaxy.

That extreme paramilitary organization that pursues human supremacy has caused troubles for their Star Federation in the past, and has caused the Star Federation to be questioned by the God's Castle Council many times!

"Feel sorry?"

"Well, excuse me first, I seem to be... also a member of the terrorist organization you just mentioned?!"

At this time, Miranda, who was also taking off her helmet and was panting, and was about to enter the underground base, glanced over with an unfriendly look, staring at the man who dared to speak ill of Cerberus in front of her face. Starfleet female warrior.

Speaking of which, Miranda is still a senior member of Cerberus! If she is not performing an important task now, she must give the other party a good look! Although, she herself is not satisfied with some things about Cerberus, but this does not mean that she allows others to organize the organization that slanders her in front of her!

"Hmph! I'm just telling the truth!!"

As the elevator moved slowly, Ashley also stared at the woman from Cerberus standing behind Shepard with a hostile gaze.

"Hey! It's ridiculous!"

"I want to remind you that it is the terrorist organization you mentioned that has been working to fight against the Reapers, and has been calling on you stubborn guys to believe in their existence; it is also us, Cerberus, who successfully retrieved and Saved Shepard, and indirectly saved tens of billions of humans on Earth!"

"But you Star Alliance, apart from discussing countermeasures in a hurry when the situation is imminent, what else have you done? There is a powerful fleet in the sky, and it is only when the Reapers beat them to the door that they face their existence. It's amazing!"

"If Shepard hadn't found reinforcements with the help of our Cerberus, Earth would have been finished by your Star Alliance!"

Staring at the other party's flushed face with a sneer, Miranda retorted so unceremoniously.

Just like most people in the Star Alliance can't understand Cerberus' style of work, Miranda also doesn't look down on those Star Alliance bureaucrats who only procrastinate and delay things, and can't safeguard the common interests of mankind in a timely manner!

That is to say, the Star Alliance is lucky, and it just happened that their captain of Cerberus has some amazing little guy, otherwise, where is the earth now? In short, before that, Shepard was working for Cerberus, and the spaceship also belonged to Cerberus, so Miranda felt that Cerberus should also have a share of the credit for saving the earth!

"you!!"

Ashley, who was choked, planned to take two steps forward to have a good argument with the other party, however, Shepard reached out his hand in time to stop the two of them.

"Okay, you all please shut up!"

"Now is not the time for us to discuss these matters! The information from the Phantom Man of Cerberus shows that a remarkable thing has been dug up in this base, which is an important item left by the Protheans! Therefore, we Gotta get it before those Reaper monsters inside start destroying them!"

"We are just fighting against some sporadic Reapers. They don't have any spaceships and large war machines here. This is a blessing in misfortune!"

Click! !

When the elevator reached its destination and slowly opened the hatch, Shepard forcefully loaded the C-14 Gauss rifle in his hand.

Ever since she used this weapon when the earth was attacked and fled by the Reapers, she fell in love with the powerful thing in her hand, which claimed to be able to take down battleships, and she also specially asked that cover Admiral Lun begged for a lot of rifles and ammunition, and put them directly in the arsenal of her Normandy II.

If there is no armor, using this kind of weapon will indeed cause a serious burden to the body.

However, now with Mass Effect armor, their weight and strong recoil are basically negligible. However, she has never considered the bulky CMC power armor of the Federation of Heroes. Although they are thick and powerful, they are seriously inconsistent with the mainstream style of their world. Things like that are only suitable for frontal appearances. On the fierce battlefield, once they wear those things, it will definitely seriously hinder them from performing their tasks.

For example, this kind of sneak operation now?

"..."

"..."

After the two women behind Shepard glared at each other, they finally stopped talking and arguing about those untimely things, and followed behind each other obediently with guns and were vigilant.

"There's something wrong here..."

"Look, the corpses of these reaper monsters have burnt marks from two different weapons and abilities, and they were killed at different times... I think someone must have come, and it may be two Dial someone?"

After finishing speaking, Shepard looked at Miranda behind with some doubts, as if he wanted to ask the other party, did the Phantom Man send other people to come, and then let them come again after finding it failed?

"Hey! Please..."

"Can you guys stop looking at me like that, I've been chasing around by the Reaper battleships on the Normandy II before!"

Miranda really didn't know anything. After they returned to Earth, they only had time to observe the mighty fleet of the Federation of Heroes for a while. Those huge and terrifying battleships and battlecruisers flew to the ground The shocking scene on the lunar orbit... Afterwards, they were hurriedly driven off and came here. How did they know if Cerberus had any other special arrangements in this base?

Furthermore, Jack Harper, the phantom man of Cerberus, couldn't have explained everything to her. Miranda was just a senior employee, not the boss!

"Let's go..."

"I seem to hear a sound... Hurry up! Over here!"

He stretched out his hand to signal Ashley and Miranda who were following behind him to keep quiet first, and then listened for a while, Shepard soon heard something.

"Yes!"

"It seems to be coming from the opposite side of the track? Listening to the different gunshots, someone must be fighting the Reapers, but there are not many people, and the frequency of the gunshots is not too high. The estimated number is three to five. Personal left and right, even less!"

Ashley, who walked to the window, looked at the faint light of the weapon firing from outside the window and the faint sound spreading here, and she quickly judged that there were a small number of armed personnel on the opposite side. Engage in a low-intensity fight with the Reaper.

"No matter what it is, let's go and see!"

"Let's go!"

After thinking about it, he nodded towards the two partners first, and then Shepard ran quickly towards the track opening.

Until now, the phantom man of Cerberus has not told her what kind of things they came here to retrieve, but just told her to come here quickly and wait for the order.

Now, apart from killing a group of reaper monsters outside, she is still confused. With the unclear target, she can only plan to look at the situation in the distant battle area and investigate the situation. Find out what's going on over there!

Maybe, it has something to do with what the Phantom Man asked her to do?

—————

"..."

"Little Head of State Anne, why don't you go in with Shepard and the others?"

James, who is fully armed and wearing fully enclosed protective gear, is guarding the tarmac outside the base where they landed with a gun, guarding the UT-47 drop-down shuttle landing craft that they took when they descended from space orbit.

This is a boring job. As an elite Star Alliance soldier, he doesn't like this kind of work on guard.

At this time, beside him was the little girl who was wearing a ghost suit and didn't wear any protective gear on her head, and was sitting on the engine cover of the landing craft and eating. Seeing this situation, James vaguely felt that the reason why Shepard asked him to stay and guard the landing craft must be because he wanted to be a nanny to guard the little girl, so it must be so?

If the little guy had gone in before, then he, James, would definitely be able to follow. Two more people would more or less make Shepard and the others' tasks easier.

However, it's a pity that no one can guess what this little guy is thinking, she just doesn't want to go together...

"cut!"

"There is only one alien, one robot, and a small group of Reapers in this base. It's not fun at all, so why should I go in?"

(o??ω`o)???

Whether it's Anne's own mental power scan or the perception of her little bear Tibbers, both of them only found the inside of this withered yellow planet base, and there are only those things she just said... So, I don't think there is anything to play She, simply started her own picnic party here on the surface of Mars, so she wouldn't want to follow those three guys in and mess around!

Anyway, those Reaper monsters must not be able to defeat Shepard and the other three little powerful guys! Therefore, a big boss as powerful and ferocious as Queen Anne doesn't need to go down and cause trouble for those mobs.

If she had to do it herself to bully a few mobs, how embarrassing would it be to say it?

"Um….."

"Delicious! Sure enough, it's a good idea to have a picnic on an alien planet!"

Ψ(￣～￣) Chew!

On the ground of Mars, sitting on the hood of a "luxury car" landing craft worth three million stars, eating delicious food cross-legged, blowing the cool Martian wind, and looking at the scenery of a foreign planet, this novelty The experience made Annie feel that it seems pretty good to do this once in a while?

Sure enough, going out to play with Big Sister Shepard and the others is much, much better than staying on Earth and having meetings all day long to study how to fight the Reapers! She didn't want to just sit stupidly in that boring headquarters, listening to the big and small officers of the Star Federation and the Federation of Heroes, gesticulating and arguing against the even more boring military star map!

Things like that don't make any sense at all!

"How do you know what's going on inside..."

"Well, Mrs. Head of State Anne, how do you know that there is only one alien, one robot and the specific number of those reaper monsters in the base?"

Looking around, there is still no hostile situation around, and the reaper monsters that can be seen have been cleaned up by Shepard and the others just now, so, having nothing to do, James walked to the landing craft with some doubts, and asked Looking at this little guy, big or small, sitting on the hood and eating.

This little guy is very powerful and amazing. He has known it for a long time. The Transformers carried by the opponent on the Normandy II and the opponent just now can kill thousands of meters away without aiming. He can see it in the matter of the reaper! But...how did she know the situation inside the base without any high-power equipment scanning and detection?

"I knew it, but I just didn't tell you why!"

(??????)Ψ

Such things as mental power scanning and perception, if you really say it, this stupid guy must not be able to understand, so Annie, who didn't want to talk too much, started to tease the other party mischievously.

The more the other party wanted to know, the more she kept silent, and she was so anxious to kill him!

"..."

Inside the dark gray helmet glass cover, James' cheeks twitched, but he still didn't dare to say anything nonsense in the end.

After all, the inconspicuous little guy in front of him, regardless of his personal strength, the power of his subordinates, and his backing, is almost as long as the distance from Mars to Earth...

Now, it's too late for him to confess to the other party like a god, so how dare he provoke or talk back casually?

He still remembers that at that time, the other party just opened a portal casually, and soon pulled out a super fleet of at least tens of thousands of ships... and most of them were composed of dreadnought-class battleships fleet! Anyway, the head of such a powerful country is definitely not something that James, a soldier of the Star Federation, can provoke.

"Hey! Would you like to come over for something to eat?"

"Look, I still have this delicious almond dried fruit here, as well as some apples... Of course, there are also a lot of cakes and biscuits. Chocolate can't be given to you at that time!"

Ψ(￣??￣)Ψ

Annie pointed to the snacks that were half full of the hood, and introduced to the stupid big man who was standing guard all the time.

Just as the other party didn't know how she knew the distribution of the enemies in this Mars base, this stupid guy also didn't know how she conjured up so much food. Just now, she took it out in such a grandiose manner .

"No……"

To be honest, just now, when this little guy took off the protective gear and eyepiece of the ghost suit on her head, James was almost scared to death by the other party's behavior!

You know, this little guy's identity is not ordinary, if something happens to the other party by his side, then he will be the sinner of the entire earth mankind!

"Thank you. I'm not like you. I dare to take off my mask on Mars... The atmosphere of Mars is very bad. It can't provide the oxygen we humans need to breathe. If I take off my mask, it will dead person's!"

Although there is also an atmosphere around Mars, James knows that it is not the same as the Earth's atmosphere! Here, in addition to the very low atmospheric pressure, the main component of the Martian air is carbon dioxide, followed by nitrogen and argon, in addition to a small amount of oxygen, water vapor, and a very small amount of methane!

These gases with very low pressure and completely wrong composition must not be provided to any living things on the earth to breathe! Maybe, only freaks like Turians can do it?

"The atmospheric environment here is toxic to us humans..."

If James dared to take off his mask and breathe the atmosphere of Mars like the other party did, then almost instantly, he would definitely have the kind of rapid heartbeat, weakness in limbs, difficulty breathing, confusion, and then paralyzed within a minute or two. cause the heart to stop beating, etc.

If the treatment is not timely, he will definitely die in the end, and he will be honored as a non-combat attrition unlucky guy!

"Huh?"

ヾ(??????｀??)ノ?

Annie stared at this stupid guy strangely.

Of course she knows that the environment here on Mars cannot breathe directly, so she has been holding back! Anyway, in a vacuum environment, she can rely on her powerful magic power to power herself and walk freely. Here on Mars, she has no problems at all.

"Actually, I didn't directly breathe the air of this planet. Why don't you just hold it in?"

(~￣▽￣)～

Wouldn't this stupid-looking guy hold his breath, eat his food quickly, and put his helmet back on? Here on Mars is not a vacuum, it's just a little bit lower air pressure. If you eat something and hold it for ten or twenty seconds, you won't die!

"..."

The corner of his mouth twitched, and James walked to the side with a gun.

He didn't want to talk about these useless things with this little girl on such a meaningless issue, but now he was on combat duty, and he didn't dare to be distracted for too long, or he might not have his share next time he was on duty .

"Don't you really want some? This is delicious!"

ヽ(゜Q.)ノ?

Annie held up a piece of cake, seductively saying to that dull and stubborn guy.

"No! Thank you! I'm not hungry yet, so eat yourself!"

James turned around directly, and began to focus on the tarmac overlooking the Mars base below, paying close attention to any special situations that might occur.

"Don't dare to eat, you are so pitiful..."

╮(﹀_﹀)╭

"..."

James didn't think there was anything pitiful. If he really held his breath and risked his life to eat two snacks as Duofang said, that would be really pitiful! Earthlings who dare to do that must have had their brains caught by the door!

—————

"You are! Liara...?"

In the core data center of this Mars base, Shepard recognized her old friend at a glance—Liara of the Asari tribe!

They had just fought all the way here, when they saw the other party throwing supernatural points on the heads of several zombie puppets, and then killed those monsters neatly with a few shots.

"Shepard! Great, you're still alive?!"

"I saw it. Countless warships of the Reapers jumped from the Charon repeater and directly attacked your earth! I was really worried at the time, thinking that you must be hopeless..."

"By the way, what happened to the earth when you escaped?"

After clearing away the last handful of enemies, and seeing that the person who came was her old friend and best friend Shepard, Liara finally felt relieved and lifted her vigilance.

The relationship between her and Shepard is very good, directly surpassing the ordinary friendship and reaching the level of intimate lovers.

That's right, the word lover is not wrong!

Because, even though the entire race of the Asari has only one sex, females, they are not asexual species like jellyfish!

When they need to reproduce, the genetic information will often produce two different sets of gene copies for the offspring, no matter whether the 'father' is male or female, or what race, or whether it is intelligent life, they Asari After the offspring are born, they will definitely be a standard Asari!

And obviously, in the past, she, Liara, had already had some kind of special physical and spiritual connection with Shepard... Maybe, in a short while, Shepard will almost be able to become a father? Even though Liara is only over a hundred years old, she is still just a little lolita in the world of Asari, but she doesn't shy away from it, she sees Shepard's appetite for her, so she did it.

"Actually, we didn't escape..."

Shepard, who just wanted to hug this close alien friend, stood there in embarrassment after hearing what the other person said.

The earth is still fine, and they were not driven out by the Reapers, and this Liara, probably has been staying in this base for a long time, right? Otherwise, the other party would not be unaware of the situation on their earth, which is not too far away from Mars.

"Didn't escape? Then your earth..."

After thinking about it, Liara still doesn't understand...

Under the fierce raid of so many powerful Reaper battleships, if Shepard and the others did not escape, how could they still run to this Mars base and come to themselves?

"snort!"

"Our earth is still very good now, you don't need to worry too much!"

Miranda on the side stepped forward unceremoniously and said in a cold voice, she doesn't like this Asari, in fact, she doesn't like all aliens! Moreover, she also felt that it was very likely that the other party came to their human base on Mars because of uneasiness and good intentions?

"??"

After re-examining the human beings standing in front of him, and seeing that Miranda and Ashley were both in good shape, and they really didn't look like the kind of people who escaped in embarrassment, the Asari little lolilia turned around. She turned her head and looked at Shepard with puzzled eyes.

"this……"

"Forget it, it's really troublesome to explain this matter, and I'll explain it to you later when we go back! But, Liara, I'm also a little curious. You came to this Mars base of our Star Alliance at this time, And why?"

Shepard doesn't want to explain what happened on Earth to anyone, because it's too troublesome to explain clearly in a few words, just like she didn't want to explain to Miranda and the others before!

What's more, it's not safe here, and it's not a place suitable for chatting, so she simply asked about the things she cared about.

"..."

"That's because, in my intelligence, I discovered that this excavation site on Mars has a blueprint for an important Prothean device... a great plan that allows all of us to easily remove all the Reapers !"

Although she didn't understand what kind of riddle Shepard was playing, Liara, who trusted the other party, nodded and skipped the matter, and immediately told her super big discovery: During the intelligence, it was discovered that there is a good treasure here that can deal with the reaper!

"ridiculous!"

"Asari, do you even know what you're talking about? Are you clearing out all the Reapers so easily? I don't think you know how many there are, do you?"

Hearing that the other party dared to say such outrageous things, Miranda once again sneered back with some disdain. Thinking about it carefully, the people on Earth also barely defeated the Reapers who invaded the Earth with the support of powerful reinforcements and paid huge sacrifices.

But now, the other party actually said that he could easily eliminate all the Reapers? !

There are at least hundreds of thousands of battleships alone, or even more, for the Reapers! If there were such good things, the Protheans would not be exterminated by the Reapers, and their things would not be dug up from Mars by the earthlings for research.

If there is such a good thing, the savage races written in textbooks or kept in zoos by the Protheans are these earthlings!

"Of course I know that the territory of our Asari is also being attacked by the Reapers, and they are retreating steadily..."

"If this continues, we Asari won't last long."

Liara sighed, and her eyes dimmed a little at the same time.

If they can't find a way to fight the Reapers, in a short time, their Asari's home planet Thessia, known as the "jewel in the crown of the galaxy", "the pinnacle of democracy", and "the love of the galaxy" Heartbeat' planet, the homeland that gave birth to their Asari, will soon be destroyed under the fire of the Reapers.

Because of this, she, Liara, came here today, looking for a way to defeat the Reaper! And, she firmly believed, she had found it!

"Okay, Miranda, let's hear what Liara has to say first."

After helplessly reaching out to stop his obviously hostile companion again, Shepard looked expectantly at Liara, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

There is such a good thing that can defeat the Reaper, she Shepard will not miss it no matter what! Anyway, it’s okay to listen to it now, maybe it’s true?

"Believe it or not, from the information I found in the Prothean archives that I checked, they really say that!"

"That thing, it's on Mars, right here..."

"However, it's not a certain kind of weapon, at least not yet... It's a plan for a great Prothean device, or can it be said to be a blueprint? Design blueprint?"

"The file states that... At the beginning, the Protheans found a way to deal with the Reapers and made all the plans, but they ran out of time, and the Reapers' offensive was beyond their imagination! "

"So, now, this may be our only chance to defeat the Reapers..."

After finishing speaking, Liara turned her head and stared at the center of the research center in a daze, staring at the Prothean ruins protected by the shield, the one that is said to be able to save the Asari and all the higher races in the galaxy. important strategic weapon.

As long as they get it, they have a chance to defeat the Reaper!

"The only chance? Heh! Liara is not sure!"

Shepard thought of something, and the corner of her mouth curved into an arc. She was not as pessimistic as Liara.

"However, since you now find that there is some kind of weapon that is powerful enough to destroy the Reapers, then we must not give up easily!"

"I think this should also be the reason why we came here..."

Now, the three of Shepard finally vaguely understood why the Phantom Man of Cerberus hurriedly asked them to come here to find something... Moreover, they mysteriously refused to say clearly that it turned out that it would be Such a great killer?

Liara will definitely not aim at nothing, and the phantom man who has nothing to pay for will definitely not do meaningless things, so now Shepard at least believes most of what Liara said! Even that thing, it really can't wipe out the reaper in an instant, but at least it can pose a huge threat, right?

Then, if they add the help of the Federation of Heroes and unite the entire galaxy, then maybe their chances of winning can be raised by several levels? !

"Then what are you waiting for! Take it away!"

"Do we need to move this big guy? In that case, I think we may need to call Normandy II immediately!"

Some quick-tempered Ashley heard that there was really something good, so she pointed to the large stone pillar-like Proxian ruins in the middle and asked on the spot.

"No! It cannot be moved or destroyed, we only need to download the information on it!"

"What I was doing just now, but a large group of harvester monsters blocked my progress, and now I may have to do it all over again."

With that said, Liara quickly walked to the instrument of the Star Alliance again, and began to operate it quickly.

Starlink's equipment is still a bit difficult for her, because Starlink uses letters that she is not familiar with, and because of this, she just slowed down a little bit, and was discovered by the stragglers of the Reaper And interrupted, so now I have to start all over again.

"Then you can operate with confidence now, we won't let any monsters bother you again!"

Click!

Shepard loaded his weapon, and then signaled Miranda and Ashley to spread out the guard around him and escort Liara, so as to ensure that there would be no blind things to disturb each other or hurt her. To the amazing Prothean ruins.

'Zizi...'

"who?!"

Suddenly, before Shepard and the others saw the monsters of the Reapers appearing around them, they found a holographic projection on an instrument next to them. When they turned their guns over, they realized that it turned out to be An old acquaintance of hers?

'Shepard! '

The other party leisurely took a puff of a cigarette, and then looked at Shepard who was pointing at him with a huge C-14 rifle and said.

"!!"

"You are Lord Phantom Man of Cerberus? But why do you..."

After discovering that it was this mysterious guy, Shepard slowly lowered the gun. She didn't understand, what was the meaning of the other party's appearance at this critical moment?

Also, how on earth did he know they were here now?

‘It seems that you have found this precious property that the Protheans left us humans... Now, Shepard, take it and give it to me? '

Frowning and looking at the Asari who was operating, the phantom man suddenly spoke in a commanding tone.

"..."

"No! Your Excellency the Phantom Man, I think this thing should be the common wealth of all mankind, and even the entire galaxy. We should share it, and then make good use of it to defeat those reapers?"

"Only in that way can we win the final victory!"

After hesitating for a while, Shepard finally decided that this thing cannot be handed over to the Phantom Man alone!

If it is really as useful as Liara said, she will copy a few points first, and then give it to all the races she thinks have the ability to possess it, so that they can successfully resist and destroy those invading reapers!

'...'

‘Something in those works of art hidden behind you can indeed allow us to find a solution to the Reapers! '

'It's a great invention...'

Staring at Shepard with some displeasure for several seconds, Phantom slowly spoke, but he was quickly interrupted by Shepard.

"I know about this, Liara has already told me in detail just now!"

"However, since you are also saying this now, I am even more interested in it! I think the Star Alliance and the Council of God's Castle will treat it seriously! Of course, after copying, I will also give you a share?"

"At that time, we will be able to successfully eliminate all the Reapers with our unity!"

After the joint affirmation of the Phantom Man and Liara, Shepard can be said to completely believe in the authenticity of the information in this device! She suddenly felt a little rejoiced, and fortunately she didn't rush to the God's Castle immediately, otherwise, such an important thing, I don't know where it would be reduced to!

'Shepard...'

'Look, this is where our difference lies...'

'This is the difference between me and you... You people only think about how to destroy those reaper monsters, but what I think about is...how to control them? ! '

While talking, the phantom man suddenly increased his tone.

‘Think about it, as long as we master the power of the reaper, human beings will become stronger than ever! By then, the entire galaxy will be ours! ! '

‘The Reapers are completely at the mercy of us humans. With that kind of absolutely powerful force, we can own the whole world! We humans will surely control the entire galaxy! At that time, both the Asari and the Turians will only be reduced to our human vassals! '

The phantom man clamored, looking obsessively at the Prothean ruins, while looking forward to being a human being, or it could be said that he was a phantom man, the scene after Cerberus controlled the reaper.

"Are you crazy?"

Hearing the crazy words of that phantom man and that terrorist, Liara of the Asari had to stop her operations, and turned her head to stare at that crazy guy in disbelief.

What time is it, the entire galaxy is at stake, but this terrorist leader, this extremist is still thinking about such far-fetched things?

"Your Excellency the Phantom Man of Cerberus, I have seen those terrible monsters and fought them! If there is any hope of defeating them now, then I am already contented, but you still want to wishful thinking to control them?"

"Do you know that once any opportunity is wasted, we will really be completely finished!!"

Shepard also exclaimed, even the Federation of Heroes is cautiously skeptical about whether it can defeat the Reaper, but this phantom man, he actually wishful thinking to that extent?

Sure enough, it is not completely unreasonable for this Cerberus organization and this phantom man to be wanted by the entire God's Castle Council race!

'I don't expect you to understand me, and I don't want your approval...I just need you to complete my order: hand over the information in the Proxian device to me, not to anyone ...'

'After it's done, the matter between you and me will be written off! What do you think of this statement? '

Seeing that he really couldn't persuade the other party, the phantom man began to issue an ultimatum.

"No!"

"I refuse this order, even if you did save my life, but I still stick to what I just thought!"

"If this thing is really that useful, then it is the common wealth of the entire galaxy, and no one can enjoy it alone! We should use it to deal with and eliminate those reapers, that is its most correct use, and You didn't put the safety of the entire galaxy at risk just to satisfy your ambition!"

Although I still don't know what that thing is, but Shepard knows that even the phantom man is so nervous, it must be a good thing! As long as they get it, their confidence in dealing with the reaper will definitely increase!

Therefore, no matter what the other party says, she will not give up!

Even if the other party did save her own life, she, Shepard, will never compromise and retreat in the face of big issues that concern the entire human race and the life and death of the entire galaxy!

'Stop meddling with my plans, Shepard...'

The phantom man's face was a bit ugly, and a woman he rescued came to obstruct him in the end, and he didn't know what to say.

"I won't give it to you, Lord Phantom Man!"

"We humans are already very strong now, and we don't need you to play with that crazy and dangerous plan anymore! Those reapers must be destroyed, and no one can control them, including you!!"

Shepard said categorically, with a very decisive tone, just disregarding the relationship between each other, and rejected each other viciously.

'I know what you mean...powerful? Heh, you mean the Federation of Heroes from the Koprulu sector, right? '

'Trust me, we should be conservative about the foreign Federation of Heroes, Shepard...'

The phantom man shook his head, he was not very optimistic about the power that Shepard relied on! Because the power of the reaper is beyond everyone's imagination... Therefore, only his own plan, and only controlling those reapers, is the safest and most rewarding thing!

"They're human too!"

Shepard will not be easily persuaded by the other party for what he believes!

She firmly believes that the most correct thing is to defeat those reapers with fighting, hard work and passion, instead of wishful thinking to control that terrible monster as the other party said!

'Yes, they are humans, but they are not humans in our galaxy, and we know nothing about them! '

The phantom man did not give up, and seemed to still want to persuade the other party.

"Your Excellency, I choose to believe in Annie, in her country, and in the choice of our Star Alliance!"

No one can control the reaper, that kind of terrifying creature is beyond the control of ordinary people!

In short, Shepard will not let this phantom man's plot succeed! Otherwise, even if the other party really succeeds, based on the other party's past behavior, the galaxy in the future will definitely experience another disaster, which is not what she wants to see.

‘You are acting on your own emotions, even if you really win, you will let the entire galaxy fall into the control of their federation! '

‘What’s the point of doing that? '

The Phantom Man doesn't believe in that Commonwealth of Heroes, in fact, he doesn't believe in anyone but himself!

"That's better than being destroyed by the Reapers!"

"And, surely you can't deny that they saved our planet, and are sending more and more fleets to counter those Reapers!"

Now part of the fleet of the Federation of Heroes has rushed to assist the Arcturus space station, and the next step is to stabilize the human territory and colonies. In this good situation, she will not allow this guy to make trouble again.

The entire galaxy unites to fight against the Reapers. This is a grand strategy jointly formulated by the Star Alliance and the Federation of Heroes, and she, Shepard, is the middleman who ensures the smooth implementation of this plan! Therefore, she will not compromise with this phantom man now, absolutely not!

'...'

"It's really because of this that I worry... In the future, we earth people may be annexed or enslaved by their countries...."

After looking at the resolute woman standing in front of him for a while, the phantom man sighed and shook his head, as if he had a feeling of inhumanity?

"ha!"

"so what?"

"At least, they are also human beings on Earth. For our Star Federation, at most it's just a change of government! I definitely don't mind, and I believe that the tens of billions of Earth people who have been saved will not be too Mind! You know, this universe is cruel, since there are better options now, why should we oppose them?"

Shepard knew about this kind of thing, and Anderson had vaguely mentioned it to her, but she didn't regret her choice, and Anderson obviously didn't either, so she chose to believe in the decision of that old officer, that old general.

‘Shepard, they are not humans from our plane! ! '

The phantom man's expression became a little ferocious, obviously, he was irritated by Shepard...

"Humans and human beings, is there any difference?"

After signaling Liara beside her not to argue with her, Shepard continued. Now that thing is in front of their eyes, she decides who to give it to!

'Of course there is! '

"..."

"Your Excellency Phantom Man, I suddenly feel that there seems to be no need for us to continue talking."

Not speculatively speaking, Shepard stepped forward two steps, intending to close the other party's holographic communication, so that nothing can be seen!

Anyway, things are right in front of her now, her Normandy II is above the orbit of Mars, and the Federation of Heroes has at least several thousand large fleets on the other side of the earth. She, Shepard, has the confidence to make her words count. No need to talk nonsense with this guy!

'hum...'

'Although I am a little regretful, I still want to say: our employment relationship is over...'

'Now……'

‘Miranda, subdue Shepard immediately and take back the thing I need! '

The Phantom Man suddenly turned around and gave orders to Miranda who was standing behind Shepard!

"!!"

"??"

This accident scared Ashley in the distance and Liara who was operating the instrument quickly turned around and pointed their guns at Miranda.

"No! Ashley and Liara, put your guns down!"

"I believe Miranda, she is not the kind of person you imagined!"

Shepard reached out to stop Gellar's hostile behavior. She has worked with Miranda for so long, and she has long discovered that the other party is not that kind of extremist, and she will not make that kind of unwise choice at this time.

'Miranda! ! '

Seeing that Miranda did not respond, the phantom man roared again.

"..."

"I'm sorry! Your Excellency Harper, I think Commander Shepard is doing the right thing, so I'm more inclined to support her?"

Having seen the crazy and terrifying scene of the Reapers' invasion, and thinking about the rare and peaceful Earth and the Federation of Heroes being continuously summoned with large fleets, Miranda knew who to support without having to think too much about it.

Besides, the ability of a certain little guy is there, and there is a powerful federation as the backing. Is it necessary to consider who to support? Moreover, she herself, Miranda, also tends to the more conservative approach of Shepard and others, and the plan of Jack Harper, the phantom man, will definitely be besieged by the Reapers and all other forces. A little crazy.

'...'

'snort! Sure enough, I knew I couldn't trust you anymore! Forget it, the time is probably about the same now, I think, my subordinates will bring that thing back to me! '

After speaking, the phantom man laughed to himself

He asked Shepard to come here just to attract the attention of the reaper for his men, and he never thought of using the other party to recover such important items for him. Now, he has been chatting with the other party for so long, and even distracted the Asari a few times, then his goal has been achieved.

"Not good! Shepard, that important document is gone!!"

In the next second, without waiting for Shepard to recover, Liara, who was operating on the instrument, screamed loudly in horror! Such important information was still there just now, but when she turned around to argue with the phantom man, the leader of the terrorists, it was actually deleted?

She didn't understand, how did the other party do it? !

Da da da da da! !

Suddenly, bursts of urgent gunshots rang out.

"Where! There is an unidentified guy, she was just over there at that data interface!"

boom! boom! !

Ashley saw the back of a person running extremely fast, and the other party ran out of the warehouse door at once, and not only blew up the automatic door from the other side with something, but also blew up the data storage device!

"Damn! We can't get out now!"

Ashley, who was chasing the enemy, ran to the automatic door at the first time, only operated it once, then anxiously turned her head and shouted at the three people who were at a loss.

She saw that the enemy downloaded the information and took it away. Even if they opened the door, the other party would probably run away!

'Look, I can finally get what I want...'

"..."

"Hmph! Your Excellency Phantom Man, do you think that guy can escape?"

Shepard turned his head with a cold face, and was slapped by the other party, and she herself was a little ugly.

'why not? '

The phantom man, who was sure of winning, began to take another puff of cigarette leisurely, and began to look proudly at the deflated Shepard and others.

"Hello?"

"Annie? A villain is running out of the base. She/he may have an important piece of information in his hands. Please help us capture her/him alive and get rid of it!"

Regardless of the astonished expression of the other party, Shepard sneered and opened his communication directly.

'It's really troublesome, I understand...'

A little girl's head appears in Shepard's multi-tool, and disappears shortly after.

"How about it, Your Excellency the Phantom Man, what do you think, who wins now?"

Shepard believes that with Cerberus' information, they will definitely know what little Anne is capable of, right? Then she really wanted to see, how did the other party's agent escape from the little guy who was known as the strongest ghost agent in the Koprulu sector?

'...'

'very good! Shepard, you will regret it! '

After being dazed for a while, the phantom man's originally relaxed expression became ferocious again. Obviously, he knew what Shepard's call just now meant.

"No! On the contrary, we will definitely be grateful for our choice today!"

"On the contrary, it's you, Your Excellency the Phantom Man, you should let go of your prejudices as soon as possible, unite all the objects we can unite, and fight against those evil reapers together!"

Even though the warships of the Federation of Heroes have controlled the solar system and headed towards Arcturus, but... Shepard doesn't think that their side of the Earthlings can have an advantage over the Reapers!

So, what she has to do now is to unite all forces that can be united, and find all ways to deal with the reaper! It would be great if Cerberus would let go of his prejudices!

'As it turns out, I was right! '

'And you, when the time comes, you will definitely regret it! ! '

After finishing speaking, the phantom man roared and shut down the communication first, leaving only the four women in the Mars base who were either frowning, meditating, gloating, or anxious.

That Asari, Liara, should also be considered a woman, right?

—————

'Anderson, what's going on with Earth now? I heard that the earth's native fleet was completely destroyed, and the earth was raided? '

Admiral Hackett was on the phone with Admiral Anderson at Earth Command from his flagship on Arcturus.

Now, outside the Arcturus space station, there are wreckages of battleships everywhere, including those of their Star Alliance, and more of those of the Reapers! Of course, there are also those densely packed fleets of federal battleships that can't be seen at a glance, and have huge ferocious bear heads on their hulls!

For Anderson and others to find such a powerful helper, Hackett firmly supports and supports them! And now, he has telegraphed and acknowledged the legitimacy of Anderson's command of the Starfleet.

"It's okay, apart from the change of the Star Alliance to me, it seems that there is not much change?"

Anderson was also greatly relieved to see that his old buddy was fine.

Of course, if you don't think about the citizens who were killed by the reaper, it's really good now. At this time, while they are starting to rebuild, they are also preparing for the battle with all their strength! They plan to cooperate with the Federation of Heroes to build several factory areas in spaceports orbiting the moon, Mars, and asteroid belts, and fully produce warships to prepare for future protracted operations.

In short, the solar system will soon become a bustling factory, and the Federation of Heroes will carry out the greatest transformation and construction here, directly turning it into a large rear and heavy base group.

'Anderson, how on earth did you find that kind of powerful reinforcement? I don't know anything about them...'

Recalling the spectacular scene of tens of thousands of warships firing salvos not long ago, only less than a hundred of the thousands of Reaper warships were left in the opponent's first round of main gun salvo, and the second round The secondary artillery volley fired, and the entire army was wiped out...

He still feels his blood boil when he thinks about such a thing! A large fleet of tens of thousands of dreadnought-class battleships, he Hackett dare not even think about!

"I'll give you a report later. In fact, they were recruited by Shepard and have nothing to do with me!"

'Shepard? Where is she now? '

"Hackett..."

"You also know that although we have won the victory on the local battlefield, the war has just begun... We need more reinforcements, and we also need the entire galaxy to unite against the Reapers, instead of fighting on our own right now. !"

"So, she went to contact the Castle of God and all the forces that can get support!"

'...'

'It's really hard for her...'

"Yes, we all owe her."

'well……'

Soon, the generals of the two star alliances began to chat about daily life, as for what to say, I won't repeat them one by one...
